Looks like the Chargers are going to fall under the radar again. Maybe I should pick them to win the AFC for the third consecutive time next year.

I hate you guys.

One of these days it'll come true right? Right?

Right?

Make the bold prediction, they said.

It will be fun, they said.

Hey... it's just improving the payout and odds I get in Vegas for my annual "They Win the Super Bowl" bet I place every year following the Super Bowl. Either way, at the rate things are going I can keep making the bet into 2015 before I wouldn't make enough to turn a profit on the bets, since the start, on the whole._________________

It's not like these Chargers would be winning with most other QBs at the helm. Fix the other problems first, you can't just replace a guy like Rivers, and even if you did, it probably wouldn't solve anything

Well... I'd add two caveats to that argument. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.

Do I think that either would be performing so out of this worlld in the same conditions Rivers has been in that they would have overcome the shortcomings the team has had the past couple years? Probably not. However, both of them are a little less of the "people-pleaser" that Rivers is; Phil doesn't want to be the one to rock the boat, rather to be the good little soldier and if he has to take more load on his shoulders then that's what he'll do.

I'm fairly confident that both Brady and Rodgers would have, through appropriate channels, made their displeasure with the coaching and how the team was being assembled/run by now. They would have pushed to have necessary change enacted sooner. And not having done that is on Philip._________________
